Consideration was given to the report which sought approval from Cabinet to develop the Council-owned Addison Road and Larch Road sites in Maltby to build a projected 43 new homes for Council rent. Both sites were situated within a large Housing Revenue Account managed housing estate.

Addison Road was projected to deliver 1 four-bed wheelchair user dwelling; 3 three-bed wheelchair user dwellings; 4 two-bed houses; 13 four-bed houses and 6 two-bed apartments. The Larch Road site was projected to deliver 10 two-bed apartments and 6 two-bed houses. Local need had indicated that these types of housing were most needed in the area.

The latest project Programme forecasted that a start on site should take place in Summer to Autumn 2023, with completion of all dwellings by Spring 2026.

The indicative site plans were attached to the report at Appendix 1.
